Status of 1:many streams: - Publish is working. - Subscribe is partially working. It is not routed, but it can tap the stream if the stream happens to be routed through the node. - There is an interface for this in the current 0.7 text mode interface.
The person whom I had hoped would implement IRC over Freenet has just gone back to school, so if we are going to do it, I will have to do it. I am of the view that it is possible but fairly complex. Is there an obvious, simpler test for publish/subscribe that I could implement? I like the idea of IRC over Freenet, but it does seem rather complex. Here are my lastest thoughts on IRC over pub/sub: For reasonable bandwidth usage, privacy and scalability, we need: - Each channel has a 1:many broadcast stream. This is encrypted. The key can be changed whenever the server feels like it. I suggest it is changed whenever anyone is banned. - Each client has a 1:1 stream to the server. This will not carry any data which goes over the 1:many stream, but will carry handshaking data, privmsg's between clients, and the encryption key for channels. -- Matthew J Toseland - toad at amphibian.dyndns.org Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
